COADE LAMBETH 1821
EC2, St Botolph’s Church Hall, Bishopsgate
This building was originally the School House, begun in 1821 by Sir William Rawlins.
From Spitalfields Life 2014 we learn that: Many layers of paint were removed from the statues and they are now kept inside the building, behind glass. The statues in the niches are replicas.
